In his capacity as Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister, has issued a decree establishing the Family Business Centre.

Government agencies in the emirate and others are urged to fully collaborate with the Centre and provide all necessary support enabling it to carry out its tasks.
